The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Thursday opened its hearing into Senegal’s appeal against being stripped of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title in favour of Morocco. The hearing in Lausanne comes almost 10 months after Pape Gueye’s extra-time goal gave Senegal victory over the tournament hosts following a chaotic finish to normal time. But in March, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) overturned that result, awarding Morocco a 3-0 victory, and the title.
